U.S. FEDERAL LAW (Scroll down for international info)
Updated 05/06/2006
Please note: If salvia divinorum is illegal in your state, city or country, we will NOT ship it to you. no exceptions. don't even bother asking, any requests will be deleted and/or ignored.
Salvia Divinorum is unscheduled and legal to possess. The federal analog act generally requires that, in order to qualify as an analog, a substance must be chemically similar to a substance which is federally scheduled. Salvia Divinorum is chemically quite different from other scheduled substances and as a plant is quite unlikely to be targeted by this act.

Louisiana Act No 159 makes 40 plants illegal, including S. divinorum, when

"strictly for aesthetic, landscaping, or decorative purposes." (Text

Update June 2005)
Missouri
House
Bill 633 placed both Salvia divinorum and salvinorin
A in Schedule I. The bill also proposed to add 12 other substances to
Missouri’s list of controlled substances. This second bill was introduced on
February 23, 2005 by Representative Scott A. Lipke (R) and Representative
Bringer. On August 28, 2005, the bill was incorporated into section 195.017 of
the state’s drug regulation statutes. Thus, Salvia divinorum and salvinorin A
became Schedule I substances in the state of Missouri.
North Dakota # Senate Bill 2317 was signed into law April 26, 2007, adding Salvia divinorum and salvinorin A to the state's list of Schedule I controlled substances. Reference: bill history. (thanks, Scruff)
Oklahoma Any substance/products containing Salvia divinorum that "has been enhanced, concentrated, or chemically or physically altered" is controlled under the Oklahoma Uniform Controlled Substances Act on Nov 1, 2006, after state bill 2485 was signed into law on May 26, 2006. We assume this means that plain leaf, unprepared would not be controlled under this law. (Thanks B, DK, and mr. JR) HB2485 and
Tennessee Tennessee has made it a class A misdemeanor:
Maine Regulates salvia in the same way tobacco products are regulated in Maine. Adults 18 and over can legally purchase and use the material. Selling or providing Salvia divinorum or salvinorin A to anyone under the age of 18 would be a criminal offense. Possession by a minor would be a civil violation, punishable by a fine, community service, or both. The amended bill passed in the House and Senate. It was signed into law by Governor John Baldacci (D) on May 15, 2007. INTERNATIONAL STATUS To the best of our knowledge, Salvia divinorum is currently illegal in: Australia Belgium Denmark Finland Israel (while not explicitly scheduled, we have many reports of confiscation) Italy Norway (Salvia divinorum is not specifically controlled in Norway, but the national health council has said it considers it a prescription drug based on its use as a psychoactive drug.)Poland (Salvia divinorum is not currently controlled, but some people say police confiscate it saying it is a 'drug'. - unconfirmed) South Korea Sweden If you have any additional information, please feel free to email us at: info @ mazatecgarden . com.
